Dataset Description
Explanation
This dataset is a structured record of space missions, containing key details about the missions, their management, the rockets used, and their outcomes. Each field serves a specific purpose:
- Company: The organization or company responsible for managing the space mission.
- Location: The geographical site or facility from where the space launch took place.
- Date: The calendar date when the launch occurred (format: YYYY-MM-DD).
- Time: The exact time of the launch in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).
- Rocket: The name of the rocket used to carry out the mission.
- Mission: The title or designation of the space mission (can include multiple missions if applicable).
- RocketStatus: Indicates whether the rocket was active or inactive as of August 2022.
- Price: The cost of the rocket in millions of US dollars.
- MissionStatus: The outcome of the mission, categorized as one of the following:
- Success: Mission achieved its objectives.
- Failure: Mission objectives were not met.
- Partial Failure: Some objectives were met, but not all.
- Prelaunch Failure: Mission was canceled or failed before the launch.
- Company identifies the organization overseeing the mission, giving insight into who is conducting the launch (e.g., NASA, SpaceX, Blue Origin).
- Location shows where the launch occurred, helping to track regional or facility-specific trends.
- Date and Time provide temporal information, enabling chronological analysis of launches.
- Rocket specifies the vehicle used for the mission, essential for understanding the technology behind the launch.
- Mission gives the mission’s name(s), which may reveal its purpose, such as satellite deployment or space exploration.
- RocketStatus informs whether the rocket is still in use or has been retired, useful for understanding the lifespan and reuse of rockets.
- Price highlights the financial cost, valuable for economic or budgetary analysis.
- MissionStatus categorizes the result of the mission, crucial for measuring success rates and identifying patterns in mission outcomes.
This dataset could be used for analyses in aerospace research, space industry economics, or historical studies of space exploration.
